The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) is a part of the University of Alabama System. In June 1969, the University of Alabama Board of Trustees established the University of Alabama System with three independent, autonomous campuses at Huntsville, Birmingham, and Tuscaloosa. Each campus has a separate president who reports to the Board of Trustees through the chancellor of the system. Academic programs were initiated in Huntsville in 1950; in 1963 degree opportunities at the master's level were provided and in 1964, at the baccalaureate level. The first master's degree based on work begun and completed in Huntsville was awarded in 1964 and the first undergraduate degrees in 1968. Doctoral programs were initiated in physics and engineering in 1971, and the School of Nursing was established the Same year. In 1974, in a component of the Alabama School of Medicine, the first full-time medical students began their core clinical experience in Huntsville. (These programs were transferred to direct UAB management in 1995.) In the two decades of the 1970s and 1980s, UAH implemented a broad range of undergraduate degree programs; established master's programs in the liberal arts, nursing, and administrative science; initiated professional degree programs at both the graduate and undergraduate levels; and inaugurated selected Ph.D. programs in high-technology fields in the sciences and 4 2006 University of Alabama-Huntsville Menís Soccer President/Athletics director Dr. Frank A.

Harris emphasizes performance in the classroom as well as on the playing fields resulting in numerous Chargers being selected for NCAA and Gulf South Conference academic honors. From a business standpoint, Harris has increased the department’s revenue through enhanced efforts in fund raising and ticket sales.

Petersen succeeded Stromecky in 1990. During his tenure as a player for UAH he was a member of several teams that held the No. 1 national raking in NAIA over three seasons finishing as high as fourth in the national tournament. As a member of those teams, Petersen helped set the record for fewest goals allowed in a season set in 1981, a record that stood until 1996 when the Petersen-coached team allowed only 15 goals in 18 games. Several other season records have been set under his tenure such as most wins, fewest losses, most goals, most assists, most points, most shutouts, lowest goals against average and highest winning percentage. As a leader of the new soccer generation, Coach Petersen has been active in promoting coaching clinics, lending advise and expertise to youth leagues, and making sure his players and team serve as good role models for the young soccer enthusiasts in the community. Petersen was formerly involved with the Olympic Development Program Coaching Staff and was a four-year board member of the Partnership for a Drug Free Community. Petersen has served as Commissioner of the VBC Indoor Soccer League. He also directs UAH's Soccer School and competes in adult soccer leagues. He coached the Huntsville-based Rampage Soccer Club in 1999. The club won the Alabama state championship in 1999. In 1996, he was a member of the results team for all soccer games in Birmingham for the 1996 Summer Olympics. Petersen graduated from UAH in 1985 with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and minors in computer science and Spanish. He served a season as soccer team co-captain and was a member of three NAIA National Tournament teams (one finishing fourth in 1982) in the four seasons he lettered (1979, 1980, 1982, 1983). At the midfield and fullback positions, he scored three goals in his career. In those four seasons, the Chargers went 53-18-7. He also was the captain and cofounder of the UAH men's tennis club team (1980-82). Petersen and his wife Justin have four children, Aaron, Daniel, Jessica and Alexandra. The Petersens reside in Madison. Carlos Petersen begins his seventeenth year at the helm of the UAH Men's Soccer program. During his career, the Charger soccer program has grown into a major force in the Gulf South Conference and the Southeast. Since becoming the Charger head coach, he has compiled a 134-114-14 record. Holding a NSCAA National Diploma and the NSCAA Advanced National Diploma, Petersen is a USSF-A Licensed Coach and has over 26 years experience in coaching 16 of which are at the collegiate level. During his coaching career, which began in 1990, Petersen has guided the men's soccer program to new heights. In the process, he has become the only coach in the Gulf South Conference to be named Coach of the Year three times. Petersen, who earned his 100th career victory when his Chargers beat Morehouse College during the 1999 season, has taken the Chargers to the GSC title game four of the times since the GSC added soccer. The highlight of Petersen's Sixteen collegiate coaching career came in 1997 when the Chargers were invited to the NCAA Division II Regional Championship. It was a first-time appearance for UAH soccer in an NCAA National Tournament. Although they lost in overtime, it was just another sign of the increasing success of the UAH soccer program under Petersen's leadership. The Chargers also won the GSC Championship for the second time in a row, and a four-year player for Petersen, Ross Comeaux earned NCAA Division II All-America honors for the first time in the history of the program. In 1996 Petersen’s squad set the highest winning percentage of .917 (16-1-1) in the 36 years history of UAH soccer. The South American soccer roots of Coach Petersen are obvious to the fan that studies his possession and counter attack style of coaching. Born in Chile, Petersen moved to the United States at seven years of age, becoming a naturalized citizen at age 25. He has traveled back to Chile on a number of occasions, visiting relatives and training with the Catholic University professional team. In addition to his Chilean roots, Petersen has strong roots in the Charger soccer program, which was founded in 1973 by Ostap Stromecky. Petersen played for Stromecky from 1979-83 and 6 2006 University of Alabama-Huntsville Menís Soccer Soccer Staff Mark Griffin Undergraduate Assistant Coach A familiar face returns to the UAH sideline this fall as Mark Griffin is serving his second tenure as the undergrad assistant coaching position at UAH.

A veteran amatuer coach, Truitt has coached at Huntsville High School, where his team went to the state semi-finals, along with working with the Madison Soccer Club, and coaching over seas. Truitt has been training goalkeepers for more than seven years in Huntsville and Tucson, Ari., where he grew up.

Finishing the season 7-110 and 4-4-0 in the GSC, the Chargers stayed in contention for the Gulf South Conference postseason all the way up until their final game of the season. Coach Carlos Petersen's squad opened the 2005 slate with four straight home contests. The season opener was a hard-fought contest that saw UAH take a 1-0 lead over Mid Continent via a goal from freshman forward Jarad Peltier (Bradford, England). That would be a sign of things to come in 2005 as Peltier went on to lead the Chargers in scoring with an eight-goal season. The 1-0 margin held up for the home team until the 88th minute when a push from MCU knotted the game at one. Mid Continent then wasted no time in the overtime period scoring at 91:05 to snatch the victory away from the Chargers. UAH's next welcomed Lambuth to Charger Field for what turned out to be an extremely messy contest. With the remnants of hurricane Katrina making playing conditions very sloppy and very windy, the Chargers played most of the contest down a man as senior keeper Joel Truitt (Tuscon, Ariz.) was red carded for intentionally playing the ball outside of the box in the 18th minute. The Eagles scored on the ensuing free kick to take a 1-0 lead. Despite being down a man, the Chargers fought hard and out shot the Eagles but Lambuth pushed across another tally in the 61st minute for the 2-0 win. The Chargers welcomed the Rollins Tars to the "Rocket City" in their next contest. The game was eerily similar to the season opener against Mid Continent as UAH clung to a 1-0 lead late in the contest on a goal from freshman forward Duncan Kane (South Lanarkshire, Scotland). Rollins knotted the contest at one in the 86th minute but Peltier proved to be the hero as UAH took the ball down the field and scored for a 21 decision in their first win of 2005. Florida Southern came to Huntsville to wrap up the four-game set to open the schedule. It would be the Kane and Peltier show again for the Chargers as UAH took a 2-1 decision over the Mocs to improve to 22 on the season. A three-game road swing awaited the Chargers next with the first two against Sunshine State Conference members Nova Southeastern and Barry. Nova put the Chargers back below the .500 mark with a 4-0 blanking. UAH then gave Barry a scare as Peltier scored for the Chargers early but the Bucs came storming back with three goals of their own for a 3-1 decision. In what was easily the strangest game of the year, the Chargers took the field against the University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn., next. The game saw three ejections, two penalty kicks and a hat trick. Unfortunately for the Chargers the hat trick came to a Sewanee player and a Tiger penalty kick decided the contest in the 73rd minute. Sewanee took the decision 4-3 as junior forward Rafael Barbosa (Belo Horizonte, Brazil), senior midfielder Fernando Pingitore (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and Kane each scored. UAH returned home to host Martin Methodist in another tight contest at Charger Field. Despite outshooting the Redhawks, UAH fell 2-0 to their foes from Pulaski, Tenn., despite outshooting MMC. League play awaited UAH next on the schedule with a trip to Montevallo in the first Gulf South Conference match of the season. The Falcons scored just over six minutes into the contest and that would be all it took as Montevallo held on for the 1-0 win. Following the UM loss, the Chargers returned home to host a GSC weekend against Christian Brothers and Ouachita Baptist. The game against CBU came out with the same score as the Montevallo game but this time, UAH came out on top of the 1-0 decision. Sophomore defender Chase Tidmore (Midlothian, Texas) scored the lone goal of the contest while Truitt and sophomore keeper Geoffrey Merry (Florence, Ala.) split time in net during the shutout. The Chargers wasted little time taking a lead against OBU as Pingitore scored a tally just 1:05 into the contest. Peltier then gave UAH a 2-0 margin before the Tigers finally scored. The freshman then netted his second of the game as the horn sounded to end the first half at 45:00. OBU stormed back in the second half but could only manage one goal as UAH won 3-2 to improve to 2-1 in GSC play. West Florida was waiting in the wings next and the Argonauts held the UAH offense in check allowing only one shot on goal as the Chargers fell 3-0. UAH faced another pair of GSC opponents after UWF with a trip to Arkansas to take on Central Arkansas and Harding. Senior midfielder Sam Pettit (Broken Arrow, Okla.) managed to score for UAH but it would not be enough as nationally-ranked and eventual GSC champion Central Arkansas won 4-1. The Harding contest saw the Charger jump out to a 2-0 lead in the first half as Peltier and senior midfielder Fernando Adorni (Ciudad del Este, Paraguay) each scored. The Bisons roared back with a pair of goals of their own to tie the contest at two. A penalty kick proved to be the difference as Kane stepped up and clinched the win for UAH in the last minute of play. UAH stepped outside of conference play for "senior day" hosting North Georgia. The Saints proved to be rude guests as the Charger seniors dropped their final home contest 2-1 as only Peltier managed to score. The Chargers then traveled to Carrolton, Ga., to take on Delta State in a make up game against the Statesmen after a hurricane had flooded DSU's pitch. The Chargers got a goal from Pettit and two more from Barbosa to take a 3-0 shutout over the Statesmen. Truitt and Merry combined for the shutout. Road trips in the "Volunteer State" rounded out the 2005 schedule with trips to Cumberland and Lincoln Memorial. UAH managed to win a 20 hard-fought contest at Cumblerand as freshman forward Brian Hadley (Madison) scored his first collegiate goal before Barbosa scored an insurance tally. With a 4-3 record in GSC play, the Chargers entered their final contest of the season against nationally-ranked Lincoln Memorial still in the hunt for a GSC tournament berth. A win over the Railsplitters and the Chargers would make it into the postseason. UAH fought hard but could manage only two goals as Pingitore and Pettit scored in the 4-2 loss. Despite the improvement, the Chargers managed only two secondteam All-GSC selections as Pettit and Peltier were honored by the league's coaches. 2006 University of Alabama-Huntsville Menís Soccer 13 2005 Stats ## Name GP-GS G A Pts Sh Shot% SOG SOG% GW PK-ATT -----------------------------------------------------------------------10 Jarad Peltier 17-17 8 3 19 48 .167 22 .458 3 0-0 UAH OPP 11 Sam Pettit 16-16 3 7 13 26 .115 13 .500 1 1-1 14 Duncan Kane 18-13 5 2 12 15 .333 11 .733 1 2-3 16 Rafael Barbosa 17-13 3 2 8 42 .071 14 .333 0 0-0 SHOT STATISTICS.. 6 Fernando Pingitore 15-10 3 1 7 21 .143 9 .429 0 0-0 Goals-Shots.... 25-257 37-243 9 Fernando Adorni 17-17 1 2 4 21 .048 8 .381 0 0-0 Goals average.. 1.42 2.05 19 Brian Hadley 17-8 1 1 3 18 .056 6 .333 1 0-0 Shot pct....... .097 .152 5 Chase Tidmore 15-13 1 0 2 10 .100 2 .200 1 0-0 SOG-Attempts...103-257 116-243 8 Paul Sammeroff 17-6 0 1 1 13 .000 6 .462 0 0-0 SOG pct........ .401 .477 7 Andrew Henninger 16-15 0 1 1 9 .000 1 .111 0 0-0 Shots/Game...... 14.3 13.5 18 Daniel Disilvestro 17-7 0 1 1 8 .000 1 .125 0 0-0 Assists......... 24 30 2 Kyle Fraser 18-18 0 1 1 8 .000 2 .250 0 0-0 PENALTIES......... 12 Daniel Segewitz 15-6 0 1 1 5 .000 3 .600 0 0-0 Fouls........... 288 273 4 Nicolas Longinotto 18-7 0 0 0 10 .000 4 .400 0 0-0 Yellow cards.... 28 31 3 John Paul Podvoiskis 16-12 0 0 0 3 .000 1 .333 0 0-0 Red cards....... 4 4 15 Craig Handrich 11-1 0 0 0 0 .000 0 .000 0 0-0 13 Travis Morris 4-1 0 0 0 0 .000 0 .000 0 0-0 1 Joel Truitt 14-12 0 0 0 0 .000 0 .000 0 0-0 00 Geoffrey Merry 12-6 0 0 0 0 .000 0 .000 0 0-0 Total............... 18 25 24 74 257 .097 103 .401 7 3-4 Opponents........... 18 37 30 104 243 .152 116 .477 11 2-2 Team Statistics |—GOAL AVERAGE—| |—SAVES—| |——RECORD——| ## Name GP-GS Minutes GA Avg Saves Pct W L T Sho ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— 1 Joel Truitt 14-12 927:43 21 2.04 35 .625 4 7 0 0 00 Geoffrey Merry 12-6 693:22 16 2.08 40 .714 3 3 0 0 Total............... 18 1621:05 37 2.05 79 .681 7 10 0 3 Opponents........... 18 1586:05 25 1.42 77 .755 10 7 0 5 GOALS BY PERIOD Alabama-Huntsville..

Since that year, Dr. Stromecky coached 21 years of soccer at UAH, accumulating a 265-90-29 overall club and varsity record. During this time he had two players sign professional contracts, eight named to the NAIA All-American Team, and three named to the NAIA National All-Tournament Team. His teams won the NAIA Southern States Conference Championship once, the District 27 championship 16 times, area championships six times, and traveled to the national championship tournament six times. From club soccer beginnings, the Chargers gained membership into the National Athletic Intercollegiate Association in 1973. They were members of the NAIA until 1986 when all UAH athletic programs became members of the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA), competing at the Division II level, where it still stands today. Until his retirement in 1990, Coach Stromecky was the only coach the Chargers knew. The helm of the UAH soccer program was turned over to Carlos Petersen, a letterwinner under Stromecky from 1979-83. Dr. Stromecky continued to teach languages in the College of Liberal Arts until his retirement in 1995. He was also instrumental in building Charger Field, which has been renovated through Coach Petersen's efforts along with community and university support. As members of the NCAA, the soccer team competed as an independent until 1995. In 1996, the Gulf South Conference added men's soccer as a championship sport and UAH won the first ever GSC conference championship. Coach Carlos Petersen was named GSC Coach of the Year. In 1996, UAH boasted the best ever season record in the history of Charger soccer, and in 1997 became the first soccer team ever at UAH to participate in the NCAA South Regional Championship. Also in 1997, Ross Comeaux became the first player since joining the NCAA to earned All-America honors. Two players were named GSC All-Academic, six to the GSC Honor Roll, and nine were named All-GSC. In 1998, though the Chargers would miss out on the postseason, three players, Soteris Hadjithemistos, William Jaggwe, and Francis Katumba were named first team All-GSC. Travis Mills was also named second team All-GSC. Adam Burke was named Goalkeeper of the Week twice. During the 1999 campaign, the Chargers reclaimed the GSC regular season title, winning all five of their games. The top seeded Chargers advanced to the conference tournament championship game and had a chance to win its third GSC crown. However, Montevallo edged UAH 1-0 in the final. Despite coming up short, Coach Petersen was named GSC Coach of the Year for the second time. Four players were members of the All-Tournament team; William Jaggwe, Fred Kalule, Francis Katumba and Robert Smith. Jaggwe and Kalule, along with Soteris Hadjithemistos were also members of the All-GSC first team. The 2000 season brought along something that the Chargers had not seen in ten years, a losing record. Finishing 8-9-0, the 2000 squad still earned a berth into the GSC tournament via a 5-2 conference record. Edward Katamba earned NSCAA All-South region honors along with first-team GSC laurels while Soteris Hadijithemistos earned his third first-team All-GSC honor. Keeper Toro Hill also earned a GSC selection for the first time in his career. The Chargers faced an extremely difficult schedule in 2001 and the final results echoed as UAH finished the season at 6-9-1. An injuryriddled squad finished the conference slate 3-4 and narrowly missed postseason play. Four Chargers grabbed slots on the Allconference squad including first-teamer Edward Katamaba along with second teamers Robert Smith, Jacob Noffke and Jonathan Brunet. The 2002 and 2003 campaigns proved to be tough ones as well for the Chargers. A lot of new faces and a lot of injuries along with playing tough competition saw below .500 records despite the solid efforts put out by the teams. The 2004 season saw Steven Van Horn earn All-South region honors and a First-Team All-GSC nod. Sam Pettit earned All-GSC second team laurels and newcomer Chase Tidmore was named GSC Freshman of the Year. 2005 saw the Chargers remain in post-season contention until the final day of competition but the blue and white fell short and finished the season at 7-11. Petit earned his second All-GSC nod, while newcomer Jarad Peltier was tabbed by the GSC coaches as well.

As a charter member of D-II, the league’s 15 universities in six southeastern states enter the 37th year of setting the standards nationally, always breaking new ground. In the summer of 1970, six college presidents met to talk about athletics; when the meeting ended, a new league emerged—the Mid-South Conference—started by, and to this day run by, the CEOs, the first in NCAA history. To this day, it is that CEO-control and involvement that makes the league work and its 14 championships (football; men’s & women’s cross country and soccer; volleyball, men’s & women’s basketball, tennis and golf; softball and baseball) so bitterly contested. From that point forward, the GSC has been giant steps ahead of the D-II pack. Dating back to 1997, the league has found neutral sites paying sizeable guarantees for most of its team championships. NCAA Conventions regularly feature GSC-proposed or inspired legislation. No one wins more regionals or earns more NCAA post-season bids. In 2004, the league purchased its own new construction office space. But the crowning moment came last year, when the GSC debuted its highly successful “GSC-TV Live” package of nine football games and its basketball finals. Add to that its web-TV show, “GSC Sports Weekly,” and you can see why 2005-06 was so special and why 2006-07 should be even better. We take pride in our 41 National Team Championships in 12 sports and more than 100 regional titles, especially because there is no sacrifice on the academic side, where GSC student-athletes regularly earn Academic All-America. The Conference added one more National Title to its resume in 2005-06 when Valdosta State captured its firstever NCAA Men’s Tennis Crown, marking the third consecutive GSC National Men’s Tennis Championship (West Florida “back-to-backed” (deleted words, added quotes) in 2004 and 2005). Delta State, Florence State (now North Alabama), Jacksonville State, Livingston (now West Alabama), Tennessee-Martin and Troy State were the charter members who launched the league. Scheduling problems for the 1970-71 academic year limited the GSC to football, won by Jacksonville State. In 1971, the addition of Southeast Louisiana (SELA) and Nichols State increased the membership to eight. The league opened an office in Hammond, LA, changed its name to the Gulf South Conference and began championships in nine men’s sports. Mississippi College and Northwestern Louisiana (NWLA, now Northwestern State) joined in 1972 and two years later, NELA left for Division I with SELA and Nicholls State following in 1979. The conference continued with seven teams until 1981, when the CEOs admitted Valdosta State, followed by West Georgia (1983). In 1991, Tennessee-Martin and Troy State went Division I, briefly dropping the GSC back to seven members, before the beginning of an expansion resulting in ten new members: Lincoln Memorial (1992-93); Alabama-Huntsville, Henderson State, Central Arkansas and Mississippi University for Women (1993-94); West Florida (1994-95); and Arkansas-Monticello, Arkansas Tech, Montevallo and Southern Arkansas (1995-96). Jacksonville State went Division I at the end of 1992-93. Mississippi College dropped to Division III at the end of 1995-96, and was replaced by Christian Brothers to keep the Conference at 16 schools. In July 2000, the GSC welcomed Harding University and Ouachita Baptist University, making it the largest NCAA conference at any level with 18 schools. MUW dropped its athletics program at the end of the 2002-03 season, decreasing the membership to 17. The Conference decreased to 15 teams in 2006-07 when Central Arkansas moved to Division I and Lincoln Memorial moved to the South Atlantic Conference. Former Commissioner Jim McCullough moved the GSC office to Birmingham. The current Commissioner, Nathan (Nate) N. Salant, has been in office since October, 1992. He is assisted by Assistant Commissioner for Media and Public Affairs Michael Anderson, Associate Sports Information Director Tim Andrzejewski, Sports Information Assistant Michael Banks and Assistant to the Commissioner Andrea Nguyen. The Chairman of the GSC Board of Directors is Dr. David Rankin (Southern Arkansas). Joining him on the executive committee are Vice Chair Dr. Beheruz Sethna (West Georgia) and past-Chair Dr. Robert Brown (Arkansas Tech). The Supervisors of Officials are Bill Johnson (Football), John Caldwell (Basketball-West Division) and Mike Murphy (Basketball-East Division).
